Pork chops are an ideal dinner idea when you need something quick and easy, and when paired with apples, butter, and brown sugar, it becomes a meal the whole family will love. Tart apples, like Granny Smith or Macintosh, are best in this recipe. Granny Smith apples are especially nice because they have a nice firm and crisp texture and they don't turn brown as quickly as other varieties.
This recipe is delicious as is, but you can add more ingredients if you'd like. You could saute some onions and garlic in butter and add to the pork chops, or toss in some cubed potatoes. Add some dried herbs, such as marjoram or thyme.
